nedit : http://www.nedit.org, a very powerful, very fast gui editor
that is
         simple to use. It has CUA keybindings ( aka "windows key
strokes")

xterm : As ancient as it is it still supports more keyboard signals
then
         the two gnome terminals or KDEs konsole. You can also cut
and
         paste into/out of it. Chances are it is already installed on
your
         system.

You will need your mouse to select text in xterm. You will also need
to use your middle mouse button to paste text with xterm->nedit or
nedit->xterm. Use ctrl-x or ctrl-c to capture text in xterm. If you
don't have a 3 button mouse press both mouse buttons at once.
